| When we left Krippen we stopped at a roadside attraction. This chap was the inventor of the pulp mill process and he lived in Krippen. We have him to thank for the stinking pulp mills around the country |
 |
| Along the trail is the hundebrunn. Somebody made a metal sculpture of a dog and water is running thru his thing as he is lifting his leg. On the bench back is writing saying this is how the maker felt about banks. |
 |
| J crossing the Czech border. |
 |
| Riding the trail along the Elbe in Czech. Didn't look much different then the German trail as yet. |
 |
| Riding into Decin there is a fairy tale castle on the hill overlooking the river and like almost every other castle it is a restaurant. |
 |
| Schloss Decin built on a rock outcropping along the Elbe. The bike trail went right underneath the rock wall |
 |
| One of many WW11 bunkers still standing along the trail |
 |
| Vetruse, a Restaurant and hotel built in the 1840s and still going today. It overlooks the town of Usti. |
 |
| We had been riding all day without beer or lunch so we stopped along the trailside where a gypsy looking woman had a couple of tables and a drink bar. Lots of music and the woman was moving to the grooving. We had 2 beers and it cost us 1 euro, about 1/5 the German cost. I thought she had made a mistake. I hadn't changed any money yet so I didn't know what things were going to cost. Everything was a lot cheaper as we had heard. |

| Riding into Letomerice Stephans Kathedrale dominates the skyline. We didn't have a place to stay but had read about the Apollon Hotel in our guide book. We got into the neighborhood and there was not a soul around to ask directions. Finally we found a women, she spoke English, but had not heard of the hotel though she had lived there all her life. Turns out the hotel was about 1/2k away by road. It seems all the people were in the market square. |
